Ok so i added the new hypergolics resource today (Based on UDMH/N2O4). It's mostly used for early game rockets.

Is this Tech Tree more revolved about the russia space program  or is it a general tech tree?

[Watermel00n]

General tech tree, for more customisation 

[Watermel00n]

i'm trying to get the realistic fuels to work. It'll take a while.

[Watermel00n]

Still indev. Using mm to clone parts. Maybe prerelease soon.

Welp, I'm going to make some changes. To spice things up a bit, monopropellant is now the main fuel for your early-games.

Here's a pic!

Lookin pretty good! Any idea when prerelease will be?

[Watermel00n]

Next week!

[Watermel00n]

Prerelease v0.10.0 out now!

[Zozaf Kerman]

EDIT: is this mod dependent on module manager or other mods? I’d like to know so I can install it today.

Are you supposed to start out with the mite as a sounding rocket, or do you create a science rover for the ksc? I noticed that the parachute kept bugging/ disappearing when I put it on the mite.

You can choose! The point of this mod is to give players more freedom in early game. Could you please elaborate on the parachute issue? 

[Zozaf Kerman]

I will need to test it some more, but I had deployed my parachute at around 20000 meters, and it unfurled. I then noticed that the probe core ran out of EC, and the parachute seemed to spontaneously disappear/break because of aero forces. My rocket then proceeded to smash into the ground.

I see. So next update, small batteries will be added. Tip: open parachutes closer to the ground.

Okay, thanks for the help!

Is this kind of a soft rp-1/RO tech tree? This seems like a cool mod tho!
